Our Travel Experts: Biking & Walking Trips 

To combine walking with an international destination is the perfect blend of an active vacation and a culture quest. I have taken walk trips in Europe, North Africa and Asia, peeling back layers of local history while exploring on foot. Visit a hut for tea and flatbread, enjoy a town square at day’s end and get to know your local guide at dinner. Guides have stories to tell! They are full of energy; new ideas pop up each day as the trip unfolds. Your care and feeding are provided with daily options to fit your mood. You need only bring an open mind and a pair of good boots to savor days digging in someone else’s sandbox. Call me- I welcome an opportunity to share my insights.

Exploring a region on a bike is a wonderful departure from the travel norm. Touring by bike you become totally immersed in the sights, sounds, scents, and people! Most biking vacations are all-inclusive… one price covers accommodations, most meals and activities; depending on the vacation you choose. There are a variety of active trips to choose from and different levels of difficulty as well.

You don’t have to be a fitness junkie to join a bike tour -- just have a willingness to explore and see things from a road less traveled. No experience is necessary – this is not the Tour de France – unless you want it to be. You bike at your own pace and there's no pressure to do anything you don't want to do. I am a Backroads Specialist and have personally enjoyed trips to the California wine country and Ireland with a trip to the Loire Valley, France in the works. I would welcome the opportunity to arrange the perfect fit for your first or fifty-first active vacation.
